Re: 8-4 Best Case.. 2-10 Worse

He messed up the ISU - Missouri game. Its played in Ames and I see that as definitely winnable. If we go into the end of the season with some fire or Missouri is either deflated or just trying to cruise into their bowl game then I see it as VERY winnable.

I think we can win this as well, but our offense will have to do good. Mizzou's offense will go up and down the field on our defense next year

I'd be equally surprised. To go 2-10 we'd likely have be winless in the Big 12. This is after winning 3 games, and being extremely close to winning 2 more. Honestly, we have enough talent that if our coaches are halfway as good as many on this board think, 2 wins would be ******* pathetic. I'm not saying it isn't possible, because it definitely is. I'm saying it would be pathetic. If A-Rob, AA and KO all went down, I could accept that record, but that's about what it would take.

To go 8-4 we'd have to beat one of OU, UT, NU, Iowa, and Utah, and beat everyone else. This is borderline impossible. That said, at this time last year I would have said that 7 wins was borderline impossible.

I think we should be right at 6 wins, with 5 more likely than 7. I'll be fine with 5 wins, with a healthy roster. All in all, 8-4 and 2-10 are probably good bench marks for best and worst case scenarios. We need an equal amount of luck in both the good and bad categories to achieve those respective records.
